Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Leucocyte

Modern jazz | Label : Act | Year:2008

This work is quite incredible. E.S.T. were surely a great band that knew how the keep "suspense" high. Nervertheless, with albums like "Tuesday Wonderland" they approached a degree of perfection that was impressive, but at the same time implied a problem: the music could become a formula, a well-done melange of modern piano jazz, raw rock energies and classical undertones. They had reached a point, where you could have said: "Well, I have a notion what their next album would sound like!" You couldn't be more wrong. "Leucocyte" grew out of a marathon-session-time in an Australian studio. It is an album that takes every possible risk: it is definitely their most radical piece of music: wild, enigmatic - and, most of all, unpredictable! I was stunned when I heared it for the first time, and I was even more stunned and blown away when I had listened twice! This will be a masterpiece in jazz history (if you give the term "jazz" a wide reaching definition including big spaces, zones of emptiness and psychedelic wonder!). The pieces nearly float into one another, with muscular grooves, discomforting zones of danger, and, sounds strange to say, a nearly otherworldly beauty!

All About Jazz:

It's too easy to fall into the trap of calling the last recording by a recently deceased artist “his best ever” or “a fitting end to his recorded legacy,” but in the case of the final release by Swedish jazz superstars e.s.t. before their titular leader, pianist Esbjörn Svensson, died in a tragic diving accident in June, 2008, it's the only way to describe it. Leucocyte is an album that's like nothing the trio has released before, yet it possesses the unmistakable personality that caused the group to rise from obscurity in the mid-1990s to rock star-like fame (at least, in relative jazz terms) in recent years with albums including Tuesday Wonderland (ACT, 2006) and the particularly noteworthy Live in Hamburg (ACT, 2007).

Culled from two days of free improvisations recorded in an Australian studio in the middle of a tour, it's proof that, despite the production veneer that gave earlier albums like Viaticum (ACT, 2005) a pop-like sensibility, e.s.t. was, at its heart, an improvising band. Many of its compositions—sometimes complex writing that remained completely accessible, but other times profoundly lyrical music of spare simplicity—stemmed from ad hoc days spent experimenting in recording studios. But while the group would normally take the results and shape them into more defined form, Leucocyte is presented as it was recorded—with, of course, the additional post-production that always broadened the group's aural landscape into something that drew on elements as far-reaching as Keith Jarrett, Radiohead and Motorhead.
